How does Exxaro transform into the business it wants to be in the future? With the strategic insight and support of the newly formed Strategy and Business Transformation (S&BT) unit.

Exxaro’s future growth will require us to transform the way we work and how we create value for our broader stakeholders. That’s where the S&BT unit steps in to help identify, nurture and enable transformation across relevant parts of the business through its transformation and strategy enablement. In this way S&BT seeks to be “the spark that will position Exxaro today to create our  desired tomorrow,” says Alexander de Angelis, Executive Head Strategy and Business Transformation.

To do this, the new unit helps identify signals that present potential threats and/or opportunities to the business in the future. It has a Business Ventures unit that is focused on understanding these signals as well as converting them into insights that will lead to decisions and actions that support Exxaro’s future growth and impact.

This newly formed unit is living the transformation they aim to create. Every member of the team comes from other areas within Exxaro, and are therefore used to very different roles and ways of working. They’ve come together to leverage their diverse skills and to find new ways of working. If anything, the team is testament to the enormous pool of talent and development capabilities that we have in Exxaro, having already demonstrated the value they can offer the business.
